The train home
Doggerel Dave said:
The rural idyll after the big smoke. Enjoyed the train ride very much; grateful for the industry and mechanisation which created it - though I doubt the folks which witnessed its introduction felt the same way.
Good journey; thanks for the write.

Here seems to be the place it has it all. Nicely done the meter feels like a train moving down the tracks

Legends

Love this poem with its dialect in place and the details of custom and sites as well as history. It rolls off the tongue and is musical as the pipes. Loved it a fave

Legends
arqios said:
FrasMac, your poem carries that rare mix of humour, grit, and affection that only someone speaking from inside a place can manage; the rain, the midges, the monsters, the politics, the stubbornness — all of it becomes a kind of living folklore in your hands, and beneath the jokes there’s a genuine warmth for a country that’s rough, loud, myth‑heavy, and still fiercely welcoming, which is what gives Legends their staying power. 🙏🕊️

Home Alone

It does appear to be a closed loop and dismal circuit, the man that is an island. Proper reading today, for which much pleasure is derived. Have an excellent weekend!🕊️🙏

He must be the only man in the house. A good write where no one ever seems to be content.

The call of lost friends
Cheeky Missy said:
I do so cherish our plovers here. They like to cry even in the dead of night. The last summer my mother and I had together I watched the plovers. Their call holds so much for me. Thank you for sharing.

There are certain bird calls that bring back memories and some that I will never forget although it has been over fifty years since I have heard it. Well written

So this bonnie lad ignores his bonnie mum’s advice and plunges into the loch to ask some of the most existential questions ever confronting mankind, returns to the shore having found enlightenment into the arms of his long lost mum now residing in ’tother place.
As a Sassenach, \'hope I’ve come close to understanding the deep meaning underlying this rollicking yarn.
Greatly enjoyed.😊

Alive without you
Doggerel Dave said:
I found compassion for this person\'s situation. You succeeded there. Good of you to make clear that it was, however real it felt, an imagined situation. All too often here this is not made clear in what apparently may be serious circumstances

We\'ve been taught and learnt about ants from time immemorial, but a louse is a louse just the sound of it is weighed with connotation. Magnificent read here, dear FrasMac 🕊️🙏🤩
